He wasted such an epic guitar build with basic strat style neck.

Crack the egg was the best! It sounds like you and I had very similar upbringings. Hopefully your uncles didn't try double bouncing you from a tall balcony as well ๐Ÿ˜„

That's true, I thought the same thing after posting. I still think you get both better results and a better experience if the third person is sitting. You're definitely right about the timing though. To maximize results you have to very slightly stagger the landing. That's really something kids learn fairly quickly after some trial and error.

Lol it's gravity and physics. Double bounced means two people jumped and tried to land as close to the same time as possible to cause the trampoline to sink lower than it would if one person were jumping. The person getting double bounced sits on the trampoline waiting to be bounced.

Because if you've been proven to be immoral and a liar no one wants to work with you or buy your product. Of course they're going to force the CEO out.

I think what matters more is wealth disparity not actual wealth when discussing countries outside of the US. How much more wealthy are they than the average person in their country. You can't just focus on wealth in terms of US dollars because there are parasites in each country with varying degrees of wealth in comparison to the average American billionaire.

Maintenance, gas, car insurance, more expensive food, tolls, parking, and time. It's a massive paycut for many people when you really think about it.

Exactly! My partner and I together make over $100,000 a year and finally we are just barely comfortable. All of our bills get paid and even though the budget is tight, we still have a little money and decent credit. I could put a $1,000 guitar on credit and pay that off no problem, but there's no way we could get a house.

Maybe if our wages doubled then we could find something further out in the sticks. Hopefully by that time more companies allow full remote work because I already lose an hour or more a day traveling.

I did say that's just been my experience and I did say that people with legitimate problems are different. The cases I've seen are spouses or partners who don't work but their partner has to do the work of two people or kids living with their parents well into their 40s and don't ever try to support themselves. I've known some people who bounce from couch to couch until the person they're staying with get's sick of them never contributing and kicks them out. Sometimes they do eventually become self sufficient and sometimes they find someone who's willing to support them and marry them never having to lift a finger. I doubt I'd ever be in the position to meet a real shut in who can't leave their house because they legitimate problems or have been traumatized so this has just been my experience.

Their sugar free energy packets that you mix in water tasted like jello so I kind of liked those. I haven't tried the cans though.

The same way people here do probably. Mooching off their parents/friends/spouse/government.
